Movie Recommendation of the Week: "Foxy Brown" (1974)

My movie recommendation of the week:

Foxy Brown (1974)
Directed by Jack Hill
Starring: Pam Grier, Antonio Fargas, Peter Brown and Kathryn Loder


Foxy Brown (Pam Grier) seeks revenge against some mobsters who murdered her government agent boyfriend after her own brother ratted him out. In order to get close to the drug ring, she joins a prostitution agency disguised as a modeling agency.


Jack Hill does it again with another great film from the Blaxploitation genre while Pam Grier proves, once again, that she's a bad-ass. Blaxploitation films aren't for everyone seeing as they're over the top with some hilarious dialogue, but hey, that's why I enjoy them.

I'd also recommend Coffy (1973) since it starred Grier and was written/directed by Hill.
